The chromosomes condense into X-shaped structures that can be easily seen under a microscope.
A membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to create two new nuclei.
The DNA in the cell is copied in preparation for cell division, this results in two identical full sets of chromosome
The sister chromatids are then pulled apart by the mitotic spindle which pulls one chromatid to one pole and the other chromatid to the opposite pole.
The single cell then pinches in the middle to form two separate daughter cells each containing a full set of chromosomes within a nucleus.
The centrioles are now at opposite poles of the cell with the mitotic spindle fibers extending from them.
